What Is Small Utility-Scale Solar Farming?

Cypress Creek Renewables specializes in the development of small utility-scale solar farms. These are farms that generally sit on about 20–50 acres and produce from 2–25 megawatts of solar power. To give you a better idea of how much energy that is, the Solar Energy Industries Association estimates that one megawatt of solar energy can power about 164 homes, so that means our solar farms power anywhere from 328 to 4,100 local homes and businesses.

Why Go Small?

Small utility-scale solar farming is a good strategy for a number of reasons. First of all, there are simply not enough qualifying rooftops in the country to make solar a viable option for everyone who wants it. Smaller solar farms, which make the most efficient use of space and panel orientation, can be located close to existing utility transmission stations and deliver energy directly into the grid without major changes to infrastructure.

Second, smaller farms are more practical for the widespread implementation of solar. Most communities simply do not have the available acreage of land necessary for a large-scale development. Smaller farms help landowners generate passive income, and the land upon which a solar farm sits can even be used for other agricultural pursuits, such as beekeeping, wildflower cultivation or sheep grazing.

And finally, small solar farms do not have significant environmental impact. Small farms do not have as many erosion issues, they encroach far less on wildlife habitats, they are typically situated on already disturbed areas and, once the trees and shrubbery in the buffer zone have reached maturity, they are barely visible from the outside.
